Junkers Ju 52

The Junkers Ju 52 was a German transport aircraft manufactured from 1931 to 1952. In a civilian role, it flew for over twelve carriers (including Swissair and Lufthansa) as an airliner and freight hauler, and Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe air force used the Junkers Ju 52 as a troop and cargo transport and medium bomber during World War II. 4,845 were built by Junkers, and the plane was still in use by some military and civilian air fleets well into the 1980s.
